This photo was taken in July last year. Around 1 a.m., there was a lot of lightning over Sendai City, where I live, so I mustered up the courage and energy to go to the Observation decks of Aoba Castle Ruins to take pictures alone. The shooting time was around 1:30, and the place is Famous as a haunted Spot, and on this day, I was immersed in shooting alone in the rain with an umbrella and thunder lol. But the moment this photo appeared on the camera screen, I forgot myself and was happy with my whole body.

📍 Cafe Yoridokoro InaVillagegasaki Main Store 〒248-0024 Kanagawa Prefecture Kamakura City InaVillage Gazaki 1-12-16 Breakfast in Enoshima is egg-covered rice from the Famous "Cafe Yoridokoro". The fluffy Renge and golden egg yolk are the best One of a kind. Of course, the Dried fish I ate with it was also delicious because I could feel the taste of the fish. Cafe Yoridokoro InaVillagegasaki Main Store also has terrace seats where you can watch the view of Enoden running in front of you while eating The Japan breakfast. It's a special breakfast that I don't make at home, but if I can afford it next time, I'll try to make it myself・・・・・ Squid it's difficult ...

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. The Kawazu cherry blossoms on the Shingashi River were in full bloom. 🌸

End of Ume Plum Rain With rain that comes and goes suddenly The sound of thunder breaking through the sky When your heart is rough and you want to go out for a change of pace A rain woman who gets such weather only At a temple in Kamakura where water streams Peering into a floating water pool of hydrangeas The world that can be seen through the gaps in the flowers It was shaking very quietly

It is said to be the best bloom in the last 20 years I have seen the Ume Plum of "Kazahaya no Sato". As you can see. If you don't see it, it's a loss! Tsu City, Mie Prefecture Prefecture "Kazahaya no Sato" 2025/3/8

Snowy Moominvalley ☃️ This is located in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture Tove Jansson Akebono Children's Forest Park. Moominvalley with snow was a fantastic atmosphere 🤤 I'm 🤭 sure the hibernating Moomins are also enjoying it

📍 Akibayama Main Shrine Akiba Shrine (841 Ryoka, Spring Town, Tenryu-ku, Hamamatsu-shi, Shizuoka) 【Overview】 Deep in the mountains of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, at an elevation of 866 meters, is Akibayama Main Shrine Akiba Shrine. Mt. Akiba is called Mt. Shintai, and it was founded in the 2nd year of Wado (709 AD). It is the Main Shrine of Akiba Shrine, which has more than 400 companies nationwide. ---------------- and Lower Shrine and Upper Shrine, the photograph shows the "Torii (shrine gate) of happiness" in the Upper Shrine. Akibayama is also very famous as the god of fire prevention, and as a local in Hamamatsu City, I am very indebted to him. Even as a child, even if you don't understand the kanji "Akiha-san!", the sound is familiar to your ears. In fact, when I was mentally ill, the first thing my mother brought me to for a change of pace was the Lower Shrine in Akibayama. (Actually, he wanted to take me to the Upper Shrine, but considering my physical strength and physical condition, he decided to go down to the Lower Shrine.) ） That's how important the shrine is to me. Now that I have moved to Tokyo and am living happily, this photo was taken when I stopped by early in the morning on my way back to my parents' house. In fact, on this day, when I arrived at the Car parking lot in Akibayama, I and trouble that my Car was about to break down. However, fortunately, I was able to reach the cars parking lot without stopping in the middle of the slope. In addition, in the restroom of the Car parking lot, I was able to collect the Water used for the worst first aid, and on the way back, I was able to go down and slide safely into the car parts store while cooling the engine. Akibayama helped us with this as well. That's how I feel. ---------------- It may be difficult to visit because of the distance from Hamamatsu Station on the Shinkansen, but I have no regrets about going. It is a shrine that can be affirmed. If you're lucky, you may be able to see a sea of clouds or as far away as Enshu Nada. As for me, I recommend visiting in the morning. It's a place ☺ where the air is clean, there are few people, and your mind is calm. 【！ Caution! Please refrain from destroying the scenery of the shrine, polluting it, or causing inconvenience.

📍 Hakone Owakudani Owakudani is located in the Hakone area of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Owakudani was formed by an Eruption about 3,000 years ago. It is one of the few spots in Japan where you can feel the earth alive up close with the smell of sulfur and the smoke that rises. On this day, there were a few clouds, but since the Elevation of Owakudani is high, I was able to see Mt. Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi very beautifully without obstruction.

📍 Tama River Sengen Shrine The shrine is located a 2-minute walk from Tama River Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Tama River Line, Meguro Line, Namboku Line, and Mita Line. The God of worship is the god who protects the mountain greenery, Princess Kibana Sakiya. This photo shows the entrance to the shrine (approach to the temple). Since it was the Time Slot / Time of Day when the sun was setting, the photo created a solemn atmosphere. The sunset that you can see at the end of the climb is very beautiful, and it is one of my favorite shrines. 【！ Caution! Please refrain from destroying the scenery of the shrine, polluting it, or causing inconvenience. Equipment: Nikon D850 Editing software: Adobe Lightroom

📍 Daikanyama Tsutaya Bookstore A sophisticated space and exterior that matches the image of the fashionable city of Daikanyama. It was also a time when the light was particularly beautiful, so I was able to take wonderful photos. There is a café as well as a bookstore, so I was able to spend a relaxing time. There are quite a wide variety of books on sale, such as design, painting, photography, sports, Car, etc., and you can enjoy it even if you are not a book lover. Equipment: Nikon D850 Editing software: Adobe Lightroom

📍 Mt. Gotokuji It is a temple of the Soto School in Setagaya Ward. Gotokuji Temple is famous for its many beckoning cats. If you just bought a beckoning cat, don't leave it here and take it home without Squid. (laughs) Of course, they are cute, but the number of beckoning cats is so large that it is a spectacular sight. In the Precincts, there are mini beckoning cats not only here but also in various places, which was fun like finding a hidden mouse at a certain theme park!

The only souvenir that can make you feel "Japanese". Calligraphy has a delicate sense of beauty, and the subtle changes in fine lines, dots and shading enhance its beauty. There is also an aesthetic sense of stillness, and it is important to keep the mind quiet and focused when writing. It is also essentially about basic manners, such as sitting upright, keeping a straight back and holding the brush upright. The fan, which is still familiar to Japanese people as a tool that appears at milestones in life, and calligraphy on hanging scrolls, which are traditional Japanese works of art, are very popular among foreigners, as they are decorated in an appropriate manner and can be displayed in tokonoma (alcove) and other places. #kakejiku #kanji #wabisabi #snuvenir

Tokyo Tower and Kawazu cherry blossoms 📸 This is the Kawazu cherry blossoms taken from the front of Azabudai Hills in Tokyo. Tokyo is in Best time to visit. It is crowded with many foreigners.

Samurai Calligraphy Resignation is the last character to be written in this world in preparation for death. Calligraphy is a beautiful part of Japanese culture, but before you experience it, imagine it. Before you experience it, imagine that you are about to say goodbye to this world. You will be dressed in kimono or hakama like a samurai. #kanji #Calligraphy#performance

This is Momo Minamoto Township! It was started by the people of the Kine district to liven up the area, and now as many as 2,000 weeping peaches are blooming. In the center, a pond and a weeping peach is projected, and those who visit it Gari a voice of admiration. The best time to visit seems to be mid-April next year.
